Vinod, If someone hasn't answered already, that problem is because of 2 things -- your silo binary was compiled for an older kernel (and hence is making the wrong IOCTL call), and silo has been completely(?) supplanted by, I beleive, "zilo", in the 390-tools package. This is available on DeveloperWorks, but SuSE should also have a package of it (I would hope).
